FIL: Ang ibabang bahagi ng panga ng tao o hayop, na naglalaman ng mga ngipin at gumagalaw kapag nagsasalita o kumakain.
EN: jaw, lower jaw
This is your jaw, specifically the lower part that moves when you're chewing chicharon or talking smack. It's the part that drops when you see your electricity bill. It's a more specific, almost anatomical term than just "panga."
From "bibig" (mouth) + "-an" (locus suffix).
Not a very common word in daily conversation. "Panga" is used more often. "Bibigan" has a slightly more technical or literary feel.
🇵🇭 Isang malakas na suntok sa bibigan ang nagpatumba sa boksingero.
